Function of the Ear

hearing and providing the sense of balance.
The ear is made up of three parts: the
external ear, the middle ear, and the inner
ear. We hear because sound waves vibrate
through the ear where they are transformed
into nerve impulses that are then carried to
the brain.

Acute Otitis Media
Acute otitis media is one of the most common pediatric
infections. Most middle ear infections are caused by
bacteria, and some by viruses. Symptoms include
otalgia, otorrhea, ear pulling, and irritability. The tympanic
membrane will be bulging, red in color, with a thickened
appearance and reduced translucency Antibiotics may
be ordered if the infection does not resolve on its own.
If unresponsive to antibiotic treatment, a myringotomy
may be performed to identify the causative pathogen,
allowing for the appropriate antibiotic treatment to be
prescribed.
